Ignore Death Rumours, General Magashi Hale and Hearty – Aide

The trending story about the alleged death of the former Minister of Defence, Major-General Bashir Salihi Magashi (rtd) CFR, is untrue and should be disregarded as a mere mix-up in the names.

His rumoured death prompted immediate telephone conversation with General Magashi who said he was hale and hearty.

He however, blamed the unverified story about his death on the coincidence in the shared name of Magashi.

Findings revealed that the death occured of Dr Labaran Kabir Magashi in the early hours of Tuesday in Kano.

Those who authored the online story perhaps mistook him for the late Magashi who is not in anyway related to him.

While thanking those who inundated him and his family with calls and text messages to confirm the authenticity of the story, he thanked Nigerians for their concern, solidarity and show of love.

The former minister however condoled the family of the late Dr Labaran Kabir Magashi.

He prayed to Almighty Allah to forgive and put him in Al-jannat Firdaus.
